Hi friends and readers,
I'll list three (hopefully) interesting facts about me. (The third one's the most exciting.)
One, I've been writing since I was a kid. My favorite part of writing is sharing the truth of God's Word--that he loves us like there's no tomorrow--through both fiction and non-fiction.
Two, I've been blessed with with four amazing kids--two of which are teenagers! I love my family. They are the joy of my heart, but let's be real, parenting is hard. Sometimes I know I couldn't make it through a single day without God's help.
Finally, a few years ago I died. I was lying in my bed watching TV and my heart stopped. My husband gave me CPR until the paramedics revived me. This event changed EVERYTHING in my life. Mostly, it taught me to love like I never had before. You can learn more about my cardiac arrest story at ocieanna.com.
